Some people have started to talk about forking FILECOIN again. Can it really succeed?

Since BCH forked Bitcoin, a new Pandora's box has been opened in the cryptocurrency circle. The tool of "fork" has been used more and more skillfully. The project parties and communities that used to love and hate each other basically fork and start working together as soon as there is a conflict. As a result, more projects have emerged in the cryptocurrency circle.
However, observing the history of forked coins in recent years, people who are interested will find that these forked coin projects are not doing very well. The better ones are basically a few percent of the original chain, and the worse ones are all zero (Ethereum is special, as the original team supports the fork, but at the same time, a group of people on the original project basically control the progress of the project development, and others cannot cause any trouble). Even so, forks are still enduring, and this time the fork also happened to filecoin.

Before the filecoin mainnet was launched, there was actually a team that started to work on forking filecoin. This was mainly because filecoin kept missing deadlines and was not interested in low-configuration server mining machines, causing many people who invested in mining machines to suffer heavy losses. In order to avoid this situation, forks naturally occurred.
Of course, this is the first wave, and it may not cause much trouble. After all, most core interest groups are still optimistic about filecoin, and they are willing to wait until the main network of filecoin is launched.
With the launch of Filecoin’s mainnet, the price of the currency has reached a temporary high. In addition to making a profit for early investors, the project team has also made a lot of money. However, there is a question: who is losing money? At present, in addition to those who took over Filecoin at a high price, there are also miners.
Miners are the group of people who have been cheated the most in the filecoin project. When the filecoin project appeared, it was basically the miners who were promoted, the miners who cultivated the market, and the various activities before the mainnet was launched were also organized by miners. In addition to the participation of the code-writing project party and the continuous postponement of the project, in fact, miners including mining machine manufacturers have been involved in it.
Of course, a bad apple can also be very powerful. In the early days, some mining machine manufacturers sold mining machines that were completely unusable and cheated a group of people who were unaware of the truth. Then when it came to mining on the test network, they cheated another group of people. The test network finally made the mining machine configuration officially recognized, but at this time, the mining machine manufacturers and mining pools also became smart and began to sell filecoin's cloud computing power to retail investors, and the people who were unaware of the truth were cheated again.
In Filecoin's marketing promotion in recent years, there are nothing but traps.
Leeks are innocent and kind-hearted. After going through so many pitfalls, they still truly believe in it. This can basically be said to be true love. However, the last pitfall of filecoin, that is, the design of the mining economic model, gave many mining pools a blow and made them see the truth.
Some people commented that even if the rules change now, it is a kind of "charity" from the project party to the miners, rather than a compromise. This also explains a situation that many people currently do not understand. Can this make people angry, or do they prepare to do it alone and fork?
At this time, the fork naturally becomes the key for miners to turn defeat into victory, but we need to consider whether this fork can succeed?
We all know that Filecoin is the incentive layer of ipfs. Although it is a project, it still occupies an important position in the infrastructure of blockchain. Many people can understand the revolutionary changes it will bring to the future of the Internet. This may be the reason why the project parties are so unscrupulous and self-righteous.
In other words, the project owners believe that even if there is a fork, it may not be successful. At the same time, various fork cases in the early stage also illustrate this point. They are not afraid of forks or code plagiarism. Just like many well-known projects, even if the code is changed, the core is still the original project.
What is more critical is that what is most valued in the storage field is the network's distribution capabilities and future upgrade and optimization capabilities. The original team has basically grasped the mainstream direction, and it is difficult for the forked team to have a bigger impact. For example, BCH, although the technology is very good, basically few people use it. This is the reason.
In other words, forking may just be an attitude, a bargaining chip, and of course it may cause the project party to further compromise, but the ultimate loss may be the overall reputation of filecoin. Perhaps a forked project will succeed?
However, the leeks may have basically learned something from this incident: the more top-level the project is, the better you should stay away from it.
